We have an exciting new program at the Haltom City Recreation Center...SwitchlifeTM Skateboarding Clin­ic. They meet on Tuesday afternoons from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on the tennis court behind the Recreation Center.

Switchlife is taught by local profes­sional skateboarder Josh Hurley and his wife Sarah. Your child will learn how to skateboard as well as lessons in goal setting, personal responsibility, and self-awareness...with some yoga and mindfulness thrown in. They have four main components to their program that they teach: Prepare, Practice, Process, and Persist.

Switchlife came to Haltom City in No­vember and classes will last through the 2017-2018 school year. There is no cost for your child to be part of this pro­gram and all safety equipment and skateboards are provided. Switchlife is free for enrolled participants in Haltom City because they believe all youth should receive en­gaging extracurricular programming regardless of income lev­els.

Switchlife is open to kids aged 10 to 15, and has a limited class size.
